Mas. G. W. SwAOflABT., THE "TWENTY QUESTIONS" GAME. jlll lntereatlng Diversion Fnr Whole Roomful of Clever People. Among the most acceptable games for small companies Is the game of "Twenty Questions," a great favorite with the English, although not widely known here. The requisites for "Twenty Questions" are, first, two rooms, that the company may be divided into two sides. The di vision of tho guests may be done by their electing one of two colors in bells, balls or ribbons, or by the choosing of sides after the old fashioned spelling school style. The hostess must see to it that there be an even division of the objects and exactly the same number as there are guests, in order to prevent the leav lngontof a friend or other awkward mistakes. Two leaders or spokesmen should be chosen, the host being natu rally one of them, and it will also save further mishaps if the second leader bo previously selected and given the idea of the game. The sides being selected either by drawing of ribbons or by choice of the leaders a method which has its awk ward Bide where there are people sensi tive to being the last chosen in a com pany each side retires to its own room and selects an object which its opponents are to discover by the asking of 20 ques tions, or as many less than that nnniber as may be. A scribe is chosen for each tide to keep a record of the questions and and answers by numbers, that no con fusion may arise from misunderstood questions or replies. To this end each scribe should keep tally on two sheets of paper the questions of his own side with the respective answers on one, nml the opponents' questions and the replies of his own side on the other. The object selected may be inanimate, animate, ancient, modern or historical, may exist in fact or fiction, the only qualification being that it shall be suf ficiently well known so that a majority of the players on the other side uiny lit supposed to have seen or read about it. A spirit of fairness should of course lie shown in the selection of objpets, and in each case the answers should be honest and not hairsplitting, although giving as littlo information as possible. Such ob jects as Ben Franklin's loaf of bread, which he carried under his arm as he walked np Market street in Philadelphia, the metal cap of the Washington monu ment, the last ruil laid on a local rail road, the armor of the Black Prince in the Tower of London and Rip Van Win kle's gun will illustrate tho wide range of choice in objects permissible. After each side announces the choice of its subject through its leaders by knocking on the door, hostilities begin. Each side deliberates ou the questions to b givvu the other and its own re plies with closed doors, each guest con tributing informally his ideas of wording tbe replies and questions and his guesses as to the enemy's object. But communica tion with the opposing side must be con ducted wholly through the leaders, the other people being silent when the doors are open. And the leaders must not make answers or put questions without first consulting their respective sides. The doors should never lie opened with out a warning knock. Any question is allowable, the first one being generally, "To what kingdom does yonr object be long?" Philadelphia Times. eoatrd, small wi iithiw. ;5e. pit limi". lo Ant Talkf I one day saw a drove of the small black ants moving, perhaps to better quarters. The distance was some 150 yards. Most all which canio from the old home carried some of tho household goods. Some had eggs, some had what may have answered for their bacon or meat; some had one thing and some an other. I sat and watched them closely for over an hour. I noticed that every time two met in the way they would hold their heads close together as if greeting one another, and no matter how often the meeting took place this same thing occurred, as though a short chat were necessary. To prove more about it, I killed one who was on his way. Others being eye witnesses to the murder, went with speed, and with every ant. they met this talking took place as before. But in stead of a pleasant greeting, it was sad news they had to communicate. I kuow it was sad news, for every ant that these parties met hastily turned back and fled on another course, as much as to say, "For the king's sake and for your safety do not go there, for I have seen a mon ti. -iiiot hflliind that is able to destroy us all at one blow. I saw him kill one of our family. I do not know how many more are killed." So the news spread, and it was true. How was the news communicated if not by sjieech. Maga tine of Natural History. Mot Too Mnrh Gold. Gold not yellow, but the hue of the precious metal yields the most satisfy ing color sensation of which the human retina is capable. It behooves the de signer to employ it most sparingly, save where an effect of utmost splendor is aimed at. Unhappily many persons with no right to splendor desire to be splen did; everybody, seeing that society has become Impatient of sumptuary laws, has a legal right to be as splendid as he can. j Every haclcncy driver on his cab, every publican on his premises, every publisher on the miserable cloth covers of his Christmas bookslmy vie with his neigh bor and rival ia ie cheap and lavish uee of" what is tlJKsdeal of costliness and rarity iu the fictitious display of what used to be the emblem of truth pure gold. The evil reuniting from this is twofold. Gold haB alike ceased to be used by the designer or regarded by the beholder with any reverence, for, taking excess ive advantage of that property which makes it possible to spread it in infinite siinally thin layers, it is used to impart merit to faulty design and spurious value to cheap material. It is not a sin gle jackdaw, but every contemptible or obscene bird, that flaunts itself in pea cock's plumes. Blackwood's Magazine. The Strike of a Sei. The women of Africa arc taking on ud Tanced airs and trying independent ex periments that rather outherod tho suf fragists here. A strike has taken place among the women of the Akona tribe, nnique in plan and definite in purpose. They protested without avail against the treatment of the husbands and fathers. Then they talked it over with the pre liminary of organization, with no con stitution and bylaws, and appealed to another tribe with whom the Akonas were not on good terms. This tribe agreed to take in all the dissatisfied women, and the village awakened the next morning to find all its women and girls gone and work at a standstill. The result was a ready assent to all that tho women requested aud great rejoicing when the industrial element of the town returned. New York Sun. Heart Failure. IIO W TO AVOID IT.

"I think the ghastliest sight I ever saw," said Sheriff Barnes, "was during the late war on tho field of Malvern Hill. I was in the battle and a more terrific engagement I never witnessed. But that is not the exact time to which I refer. About a year after the battle was fought my regiment was ordered out into the neighborhood of tbe same old field. We went over the very same ground, mid there in tho open field, exposed to the torrid sun, were bleaching the bones of our comrades who fell in that awful en gagement. It was a sight I shall never forget. On every side lay a waste of Bkulls skulls of almost every shape and size a modern uoigotha. "We could not identify them, however, and could oidy gaze with a feeling of sorrow on the aggregate pile of human heads that had once been full of life and feeling. After the deeper emotions ex cited by the spectacle had worn away 1 thought of the infinite variety of shapes that were presented by the heap. There were no two of the same shape or size, and it was rather a matter of curious though melancholy interest to inspect the different skulls as they lay crum bling in the sultry atmosphere of that August day."
